Minister of State for Foreign Affairs M.J Akbar on Tuesday left for Abu Dhabi to attend the second edition of the annual UAE-India Economic Forum (UIEF) aimed to explore investment opportunities in sectors like infrastructure, ports, railways and tourism in India.

The two-day forum would set to be inaugurated by Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on October 19-20 while M.J. Akbar will deliver a keynote speech on the second day of the gathering.

The line-up of speakers include top leaders from the industry from both the countries, with UIEF emerging as a definitive networking and knowledge-sharing platform for major investors and government leaders.
